With all the sympathetic news coverage in the mainstream media talking about refugees and their heart-wrenching journey to Canada, you’ve probably heard about the surge in refugees illegally entering Canada from the United States.

There’s only one problem with all of this. These people are not refugees. Not yet, anyway.

They haven’t been screened, vetted or approved by Canadian border services officials. Their cases haven’t been reviewed by an immigration judge, and they haven’t demonstrated that they meet the legal standard and definition of a refugee, according to international law.

And the way these folks are crossing into Canada – via its shared border with the United States – actually disqualifies them from making asylum claims.

Watch as I explain what Canadian law says about the matter and why we shouldn’t be allowing this.

We shouldn’t be deceived by reports such as the CBC’s that refer to a “network of drivers” in the U.S. who transport migrants to the border, drop them off and let them walk into Canada to make a refugee claim. A more accurate way of describing this illegal “network” is to call it a human smuggling ring.

The CBC even admit there’s a profit motive, a fair amount of money being made, and that there is exploitation.

These human traffickers know exactly what they’re doing, and they know how to get around existing laws and bilateral agreements. The human smugglers know that the Safe Third Country Agreement is only enforced at International airports and major land border crossings in Canada. Canada shouldn’t be accepting any of this.

We don’t want human smuggling rings, extorting victims of their life savings, to facilitate illegal migration into Canada. We don’t want migrants risking their lives trekking through snow during a bitter Canadian winter, literally losing limbs to frost bite because they weren’t properly prepared.

Canada is a welcoming and generous country, with a proud history of helping refugees and resettling some of the world’s most persecuted people but we shouldn’t be naïve.

Note to Ezra and company. A friend of mine has been posting the links to these stories that expose the facts behind the story, such as the ’debunk" story. The reaction? Facebook has been closing the accounts, usually within minutes!

Candice is such a brilliant writer. The MSM is suggesting that it is illegal to turn these people away and that Canada has no choice under the law but to take them in. So kudos to Candice for staying on top of the truth behind this story. Too bad her truth will get buried in the mountain of CBC BS.

They are breaking the law, period. These migrants, not refugees, are entering the country Ilegally. And what makes it worse is the bellhop RCMP officers are helping them cross over instead of arresting them at the border. Is there no more rule of law in this country? They are not refugees and should be detained and sent back just like any other person trying to illegally enter the country. If they want to apply for immigration into the country do so like every other immigrant and stop jumping the cliché. If any of these illegal immigrants commit a crime while they are in the country the victim should have the right to sue the federal government. The main job of the government is to make sure it’s citizens are safe and you can’t do that by letting in undocumented immigrants.

These people are ‘fleeing’ the US because they have entered that country illegally, now they are invading our country illegally, and just like Sweden the dwindling middle class and working poor will pay to keep these illegal border crashers well fed and housed. And of course there will be cockroaches living off the avails of others.

Interesting how CBC has reporters patrolling the border looking for a fake refugee story, yet they can’t find a single radical mosque in Canada.
